Black Mob

The Black Mob is a powerful African-American criminal empire that operates in several cities in the American South. The Black Mob's first leader was Sammy Robinson, a powerful New Orleans crime boss who ruled over the black Delray Hollow district under the Marcano crime family. In 1968, he engaged in a destructive gang war with the Haitian Mob that led to him falling into the debt of Sal Marcano, and Marcano decided to have the Black Mob wiped out in an attack on Robinson's bar. However, Robinson's adoptive son Lincoln Clay survived the attack and decided to avenge the deaths of Sammy Robinson, his son Ellis Robinson, and his friend Danny Burke by destroying the Marcanos. Clay, with the help of CIA agent John Donovan, recruited Haitian leader Cassandra, Irish Mob leader Thomas Burke, and Scaletta Gang leader Vito Scaletta as his underbosses, and the family managed to take over all ten of New Orleans' districts from the Marcanos after killing several of its associates and enforcers and breaking up its rackets. Clay's crusade against the Marcanos ended with his murder of Marcano, and he proceeded to expand his empire throughout the American South. In New Orleans, he reopened Baron Saturday's Fun Park and built up Delray Hollow, made contributions to charities, schools, and hospitals, ran drugs, alcohol, and prostitution crime rings, and expanded his operations as far as Florida, South Carolina, and North Carolina.
